I am a newbie and know almost nothing about pool maintenance or pool equipment. I use a pool service to maintain the chemicals in my pool.

We currently have a single speed Hayward Max Flo II Pump. The pump is 2.0 horsepower. The motor has been replaced on this pump previously.

This pump used to operate fairly quietly, but has gotten really loud lately. The sound bothers me and I am surprised that I have not had complaints from my neighbors.

I am thinking of replacing the pump with a new variable speed pump.

I am looking for suggestions for suitable replacement pumps. I am looking for a pool pump that operates fairly quietly and is energy efficient.

Any suggestions that you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
